It can be terrifying to be investigated and charged with a crime. You may be concerned that your life as you know it is over. However, a criminal conviction is not assured, especially if you have a skillful, aggressive Sarasota criminal lawyer on your side. Hanlon Law provides vigorous representation to people accused of crimes in Sarasota.
Before joining Hanlon Law, Nick was the lead trial attorney at one of South Florida's largest criminal defense firms. Since his admission to the Florida Bar, Nick has focused exclusively on criminal defense and has built a reputation as a zealous advocate in the courtroom. Nick believes that every case presents new challenges and that it is essential that you consult an experienced defense attorney who can identify and overcome those issues.
Facing criminal charges can be stressful. You should not assume that there is a strong case against you simply because you have been arrested. Whether you are charged with a sex crime, a drug crime, or any other crime in Florida, it is important to hire a skillful Sarasota criminal defense lawyer. In fact, the earlier that you can get an experienced attorney involved and on your side, the greater is the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
I first met Will in 2007 when I was charged with a very serious felony. I had a consultation and Will was very patient as I went through all the details. After his hard work for 16 months with states attorneys in Hillsborough criminal court trying to get the case dismissed he was able to work a plea.
College students are not children, but they may not be completely mature either. They may be free from their parents' control for the first time. They may make mistakes and get charged with a crime. There are many different kinds of campus crimes, including forcible sex crimes, motor vehicle theft, aggravated assault, burglary, and robbery.

I highly recommend Will Hanlon as an excellent Sarasota criminal defense attorney. The stresses of the recent pandemic contributed to an unfortunate domestic situation where I needed legal counsel and representation. I called several attorneys, but it was Will Hanlon of Hanlon Law who contacted me immediately - over the weekend - and told me how he would handle my case. He was assuring and professional. Moving forward, Mr. Hanlon and his staff were available to answer all of my questions and keep me up-to-date with the goings on of my case. Additionally, Mr. Hanlon was thorough, personable, upfront

From the moment I first spoke with Mr. Hanlon I knew I made the right decision. He was extremely confident and knowledgeable about the type of case I was going to him for. He advised me step by step what would happen and it all happened exactly that way. His assistant Kathy is also amazing. If he is not available, she is there to assist in anyway. The end result was better than I anticipated. He was able to get my charges dropped! I highly recommend to speak with Mr. Hanlon and see what he can do for you.
